Bedroom #1: This bedroom is where the children will sleep. They will only be allowed to sleep in here. No work or play is done in this room. This was picked as the children's room because it is simple and not as nice as the others. Even though the small plantation owners had plenty of money,they weren't as wealthy as the large plantation owners, so all there rooms weren't overly nice
Bedroom #2: This bedroom is for the parents of the house. Like the children, it is only used for sleeping. We picked this for the parents room because it is fancier than the guest and children and the parents are considered as being the most important people in the house.
Bedroom #3: This bedroom would be used for guests. We picked this room because it is a nice room, but not nicer than the parent's room. Family and friends that visited would stay in this room while they were with the family. The people that owned the house were obviously wealthy because this room is colorful and has blue in it from indigo.
Kitchen: The kitchen was used for cooking only. Unlike most American families today, the family always ate together in the dining room, but never just in the kitchen. We liked this picture because it shows people cooking. This is what a kitchen would look like in action!
Pantry: The pantry, like the one above was used for storing things. You could find pots, pans, and cooking utensils here. I like this picture because it shows you some of the stuff that was used in a Small Plantation in this time.
Dish/Laundry Room: This room was where the slaves of the house would be found sometimes doing laundry and washing dishes. They had the dish and laundry room together because you used the same basic things: soap & warm water. I like this picture because it shows you the buckets where things were washed.
Garden/Field: The garden is where plants & cash crops were grown. Here a small plantation owner would grow cash crops like cotton, tobacco, indigo, or rice. Cash crops were grown to be sold for money. We chose this because it's smaller than the large plantations.
Servant Quarters:
This room would be where slaves or servants slept. It wasn't extremely nice, since it was only for slaves. Small plantation owners would normally have around 10 slaves, so they would need a couple slaves quarters to hold them all. I chose this because I like how you can see a bed and a chair.
Dining Room: The dining room was used to eat only. If the family had people over, they would eat in the parlor. The dining room was only used to eat if it was just the family. We picked this because you can tell the owner is wealthy.
Parlor: This is the parlor. The parlor would be used if the family had any guests. Parties or holiday dinners would be held here. Very wealthy plantation owners would have at least one or two parlors. I chose this because it's nice and you can see the eating utensils.
Tobacco Field:
This is a tobacco field. Plantation owners worked on these fields or with tobacco the whole year. We chose this picture because you can see the rows.
Cotton Field:
This cotton field would be like one a small plantation owner would own. Cotton was a cash crop sold in this time. A cash crop is a crop grown for money. For example tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice are all cash crops. Small plantation owners would sometimes have slaves working these fields like the one above. We picked this picture because you can see the size of the crops.
Tobacco Drying Barn: This is the Tobacco Drying barn. Tobacco, a cash crop, took all year to get ready to sell. Drying it was one of the many things you had to do to tobacco before it was tied into ropes and sent off to be sold. I like this picture because you can see how they would hang the tobacco to dry it out.
